Hey, idk if this will get any traction, but: 1. I'm looking for opinions of current FP languages (specifically: strengths, weaknesses, wish list. anything that comes to mind) 2. Same thing, but for OOP (as a whole, not a specific lang) ctx: comp sci/language theory research 🌸

Thoughts: Depends what you mean by a functional language! 😊 Many of the most popular multi-paradigm languages have adopted a lot of functional ideas: functions as values, higher-order functions in the core SDK, easy ways to make immutable data structures, APIs or libraries that support lazy eval.

there’s quite a few devs hanging around here, so hopefully someone can help i do mostly devops bs and most of my exp is with oop , but i do mostly scripting and stuff now not like software dev at least not any more! :3

put 5 minutes on the clock and here's what i came up with

I think it'd be cool if object relationships weren't hardcoded to "inherits" and (sometimes) "implements". I wish contract systems were more expressive

when talking about non-FP langs adopting FP i think it's undermentioned that methods themselves are somewhat losing and now dot-call is basically just for emphasis (see e.g. C#'s extension methods, D's UFCS, etc) at which point i think they should just abandon methods and add pipeline syntax instead

I build line of business applications. For me, it’s the defaults that matter: Immutable data Structural equality Composition And the core building blocks: Functions Sum types Pattern matching Records That’s what I need to model business processes.

even if you have no clue what this is all about, reskeets appreciated 💫
